The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - A year after the events chronicled in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the Pevensie siblings return to Narnia and find it has changed for the worse under an evil king.

Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - You see the hat before the hero - that famous fedora, the one that stays put through every tricky situation, or at least at arm's length for a hasty getaway. And, of course, he still has the whip, the paralyzing fear of snakes and the catchy John Williams theme song that will surely gnaw at your brain for hours afterward. Yes, the latest "Indiana Jones" movie dives headfirst into the iconography of the franchise, which will bring a smile to your face and warm you with nostalgia. It's admittedly a pleasure to see Harrison Ford back in the role; at 65, he's grizzled and lined but certainly up for the challenge. Once you get past the initial reintroduction, though, it's obvious that this fourth film in the Indy series really has no idea where to go. Except for the opening - which literally starts the film off with a bang - and a couple of dazzling chase sequences, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is about as unfocused and meandering as the title itself. Instead of the breathless action of previous films, this one gets draggy and repetitive in the middle, with Indy and Company traipsing through various tombs, searching by torch light for clues to the origin of the mysterious and powerful Crystal Skull of Akator. The fear that fans have long held is justified: that technology unavailable during the first three Indy movies would make this one look slick and fake. That's especially true during the protracted, messy climax. Shia LaBeouf holds his own as Indy's young sidekick and Karen Allen returns from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as Indy's long-lost love. Cate Blanchett, John Hurt and Ray Winstone, meanwhile, go to waste in one-note roles. (Christy Lemire, Associate Press) 126 min. PG-13.

Iron Man - "Iron Man" is a blast - the perfect start to the summer with its shiny mix of visual effects, elaborate set pieces and humor. This is also the biggest movie of director Jon Favreau's life, and he juggles all the complicated, expensive toys deftly. Downey's Tony is abducted by insurgents while demonstrating his weapons company's latest missile to the U.S. military in Afghanistan. While in captivity, he's ordered to reconstruct the missile but instead creates a suit of armor and becomes a weapon himself. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 126 min. PG-13.

Kung Fu Panda - The adaptation of such a delicate creature as the giant panda to a habitat like the summer movie season - a zoo if ever there was one - is an obvious ploy for family crowds. But "Kung Fu Panda" is surprisingly fun and free of the usual blockbuster bloating, despite its star-packed voice cast. It also has easily the best computer animation of a DreamWorks production yet, far surpassing the look of "Madagascar" or even "Shrek." It's not quite on Pixar's level, but it's close. Our hero, Po, voiced by Jack Black, is an overweight dreamer who has more in common with Black's "Nacho Libre" than Hsing-Hsing. He puts the giant in giant panda. Despite his lack of talent, the duty of protecting his village is thrust upon Po. But at every turn, the gravity of the kung fu archetype is contrasted with Po's oafishness. He's advised: "Panda, we do not wash our pits in the Sea of Forgotten Tears." He's plucky, but it's not Po's grit that endears us to him; it's his casual good-naturedness. The voice work throughout is good, particularly that by Dustin Hoffman and Ian McShane. Angelina Jolie as Tigress is completely forgettable. As summer movies get bigger and bigger, they often make us, the audience, feel smaller and smaller. The bright "Kung Fu Panda" is a simple and lighthearted exception.

Super High Me - "Super High Me" features comedian Doug Benson and explores the current situation with medical marijuana in California and the United States, specifically focusing on the conflict between federal and state law and the explosive growth in medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles over the past two years. As part of his journey, Doug smokes, eats and vaporizes medical marijuana for thirty consecutive days in order to get "Super High." But there is a catch-first Doug must go thirty days without any marijuana and undertakes a number of tests, completing the same tests while medicated and while sober, in an effort to find out what marijuana does and how it really affects people. Along the way, we follow Doug as he goes out on the road to stand up gigs across the country and hangs out with fellow comedians Sarah Silverman, Bob Odenkirk and Patton Oswalt.

The Life Before Her Eyes - Imaginative, impetuous and wild Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) can't wait for her adult life to begin. Whiling away the final days of high school in the lush springtime, Diana tests her limits with sex and drugs as her more conservative friend Maureen (Eva Amurri) watches with concern. But Diana's aura of invincibility is shattered when a senseless act of violence erupts at school, forever changing the lives of the two best friends. Fifteen years later, a grown Diana (Uma Thurman) is still trying to come to terms with the traumatic events of that fateful day. Moving seamlessly through both stages of Diana's evolution, "The Life Before Her Eyes" delves deep into the crossroads that we all face - where a simple decision can change the course of everything to come, and where a lifetime can be encapsulated in a single moment.

The Visitor - The life of a bored, middle-aged college professor (Richard Jenkins) is changed by the presence of two immigrants who turn out to be living in the New York apartment where he's supposed to stay for a conference.

You Don't Mess With Zohan - For all its perceived shock value, all the concern that a comedy about conflict in the Middle East would offend just about everyone imaginable, "Zohan" is really rather conventional and familiar. At its core, it's just "Romeo and Juliet," wrapped in Adam Sandler's trademark raunchy humor. Sandler stars as the titular character, an Israeli commando who fakes his own death to escape to the United States and pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a hairdresser. He's a superhuman trained killer but all he wants to do is make people "silky smooth," one of many jokes that get repeated ad nauseam in Dennis Dugan's overlong movie. While in New York, he wows his older female customers with his sexual prowess (and the haircuts he copies from his 1987 Paul Mitchell book), but he also finds he's fallen for his boss, Dalia (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a salon owner who happens to be Palestinian. He also must elude a group of Arabs, led by cab driver Salim (old "SNL" buddy Rob Schneider), who want to report Zohan's existence to the Palestinian terrorist (John Turturro) who thought he'd killed him. Sandler co-wrote the script with longtime friends and comedy titans Robert Smigel and Judd Apatow, so it features smarter and more grown-up laughs than you would expect from a typical Happy Madison Production. With its messages of acceptance and reconciliation, the film's heart is certainly in the right place. And with cameos from Mariah Carey, Charlotte Rae, George Takei, Dave Matthews and John McEnroe, it's got to feature the most random cross-section of humanity since "Zoolander." Mostly, though, it's just plain silly. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 113 min. PG-13.
